Just guessing. >_>

According to Brad Bard, all the songs were chosen beforehand so it's possible for an editor that is currently in the tournament to get their own song

The songs were chosen beforehand but were they assigned to specific rounds beforehand? I'd like to think Brad wouldn't knowingly give an editor the same song they already worked with.

I did assign the songs randomly before the brackets were full. I can say that at that point, nobody had a chance of ending up with a song from their own video.

Now, I WILL say that I CANNOT confirm that you won't get a song you may have used on your own for some other project. I'm only talking about it from the context of them being the original creator of the "well known" video (if that makes sense).

For example, I think in IC3, a few people had said that they had edited with "This Is Your Life" (from "This is DBZ Life") before, but I was only considering Scott Melzer as the original creator, and he wasn't in the tournament.

I know I could've picked a song from one of Hsien's MORE well known videos, but frankly this is my favorite video of his, and it still has tens of thousands of hits, so why the hell not Great job to both of you!
